- Reposted by Kane LawhornI will have an opening for a Ph.D. student (M.S. required) to begin Summer 2026, studying impacts to high Appalachian arthropod communities following Hurricane Helene. I'll be at Ent. Soc. America meetings next week. Please point interested students my way. More: sites.google.com/site/caterin...
- Lots of spider activity today in this bottomland hardwood forest! Tetragnatha sp., Dolomedes sp., and Neoscona domiciliorum Brunswick Co., NC
- Now I see why these are called "boogie-woogie aphids". Disturbing the branch causes the aphids to shake their behinds! Grylloprociphilus imbricator

- Always a treat to stumble upon Ophiocordyceps infected ants. Pictured are two of the ~15 infected individuals I found in the Piedmont of NC. Every individual exhibited "leg wrapping" behavior on live beech twigs. These red ants blended in remarkably well with the red leaf buds on each stem!
